SELF-AWARENESS AND SKILLS DEVELOPMENT

Course Objectives

In order to be more efficient and effective, a manager must know his own capabilities and be aware of weaknesses that can affect his performance as a leader. Most managers have academic knowledge or professional experience regarding basic management principles and the variety of communication tools and techniques needed to be effective leaders. However, they often do not know their own abilities to motivate or communicate and may therefore not manage as effectively as they could. Experience has shown that our own character and temperament often influences our relationships with others and consequently how we behave as managers.

The purpose of this training is to help small groups of managers to assess their own managing style (strengths and weaknesses). After an initial introduction to the topic, the participants will be required to complete a self-evaluation questionnaire and to discuss their own management experiences within the group. Then, through a combination of lecture and interactive discussion, they will determine what they, as individuals, must do in order to improve and develop their managing style and increase their level of performance.
